We are paying ourselves. MY mom paid for my dress and FH's aunt is doing my alterations, bustle and head piece.

Re: Are you and FH...

We are paying for most of it ourselves.. my mom and stepdad are sending us on our honeymoon and my dad is throwing me some $ for the DJ. Its really difficult to save when all i want to do is spend.. We bought our house in Feb of last year so its even harder with that but we'll do it.. and it will be soooo worth it!

Re: Are you and FH...

we're paying half and my parents are paying the other half.

My parents also bought my gown and will pay for everything else to dress me (shoes, tiara, veil, etc.)

Re: Are you and FH...

We're probably at about 80% ourselves, but we're not tapping into any parent money until the end, when the last big payment is due the RH. My Mom is doing my Shower, and my FMIL is doing our RD, but they are also giving us a bit toward the wedding.

FH and I are paying for the whole thing. The only help we are getting is from my sister who said she is going to buy my dress....Very stressful

Re: Are you and FH...

My parents are paying for the RH which is HUGE. We are paying for everything else. FH's brother is just starting college in the fall so we wouldnt fee right taking money from them when we know they have alot going on right now.
